Inside the Pensive
Ding dong! The doorbell echoed throughout the huge house. James Potter opened the door. He looked into the stranger's face. After a moment, a huge grin slowly spread across his face.
"Snivelous," he taunted, "what an awful surprise!

Snape rolled his eyes for the second time and shouted into the house, " Hi, Lily!"

"Come," Lily said, tugging on his hand. "Come see Harry!"
She led him upstairs…
The scene changed.
